USA Today asked business leaders what managerial skills were the most essential for succeeding in the New Economy. Ranked first (76 %) was
the ability to develop and implement business strategy.
Based on a recent study, both Strategy and Human Resource Management were identified as the most important skills
for a CEO to possess. This is what Walton Consulting is all about, specifically addressing these two areas by walking alongside
the company leader in a coaching and advising role to grow a healthy company.
Regarding our brand, Walton Consulting was founded in 2001 by David Walton Olson. Walton is from an old family name traced back
to Cambridge England in the 13th Century. It is a name rich in tradition, from the signing of the Declaration of Independence to
business giant Sam Walton. It’s our hope to communicate and deliver an image of integrity, stability, values, and leadership.
5 PRINCIPALS FOR ADVISING A CEO
Walton Consulting is committed to adhering to the following executive coaching principals when providing trusted advice to its CEO clients.
1) To serve with genuine personal care
2) To perform good work with diligence and persistence
3) To provide deep experience and offer sound judgment
4) To present thoughtful and objective advice (against own interests)
5) To think proactively about opportunities and threats in the future
Ultimately, the CEO is looking for a tried and true friend, and that is our goal.
